I enjoyed a very relaxing message with Shelley but am disappointed with the price increases and additional charges for using a credit card. Were all feeling the pandemic and it’s not nice to penalize the customers. We are all feeling the financial pinch.
If you want loyal customers dont do like this!

I came here for an after-workout massage. The waiting room was full of people who appeared to be employees or perhaps friends and family. They all stared at me as soon as I walked in. A strange experience, but fortunately, that was the low point of the visit.
The massage room was a fairly typical room. Somewhat barebones. Soft music playing. I could hear the group in the waiting room hanging out and chatting. The door had a clear glass or plastic window, which is unusual.
I went for a 60 minute body massage. The massage itself was fine. It was a deep tissue massage, which is the only style of body massage that they offer. My masseuse asked if I wanted strong or medium pressure, and I indicated medium. Medium turned out to be somewhat lighter than an average deep tissue or shiatsu massage. I assume strong would have been more typical. Hot oil and stones were a part of this massage. Their technique was fine. Maybe one or two small technical mistakes where some motions were performed on one side but not the other.
During the massage, someone (not my masseuse) opened and closed the door briefly, probably to check whether the room was occupied. What was the point of that window?
$38 for a 1 hour massage isn’t bad. There are plenty of massage places that charge 2-3 times as much, and that gets you a quieter, more relaxing environment. But for $38, this place isn’t bad

This place is so rude and inconsiderate!! I went to get a massage to relax but I left even more stressed. I went in for a massage and they told me and my friend a ten minute wait for a couples massage .. we said fine we will goto the bank and get cash. (Cheaper with cash) we came back 5 min later and then they let another couple skip us. Very disappointed very rude.. won’t be back!!!

I’m still so in shock by an experience I had with this place last night. I was so excited to try this place after visiting two similar massage locations in the neighborhood, especially because of how late they are open. I called and asked the price for a one-hour massage and was told $38. I came, got the massage and it was okay. Not the best in the world but for under $40, I had no real complaints and was prepared to be a regular customer since I get massages once a week. Here’s where it went downhill.
At check out, I handed the woman who massaged me two twenty-dollar bills and she gave me back two dollars. Great. I’m still all smiles, I put my two dollars away and pull out a $5 dollar bill that I handed to her as a tip. She takes it, looks at it, her smile quickly fades and and she said, “It’s ten dollars.” I was confused. So I ask, “What is ten dollars?” She repeats, “It’s ten dollars.” Now I’m incredibly confused because I could not believe that she was apparently specifying how much I tip. I said, “I do not understand. I got a one-hour massage and was told it is $38.” She goes, “Yeah,” and proceeds to point to a price list behind her and goes, “for $38 its ten dollars.”
Now I’m standing there in even more disbelief that someone is legitimately telling me how to spend my money after I already paid for the service I came for. A woman who appeared to be more senior to her started inquiring in another language what the issue was and from the back and forth, I could tell the woman just told her to let it be. Next thing I know, she has the biggest and brightest smile again and says, “It’s okay.” In utter disbelief, I gathered my things, walked out of that door and will never return. I even had to do the math on the way home. The customary rule for massage tips that I am aware of is 15 to 20 percent. Fifteen percent of $38 is $5.70 and 20 percent of $38 is 7.60. Either way, I still cannot wrap my head around a flat out demand for a $10 tip with a back and forth discussion on top of that.
All that to say, for an extra $5, they lost my guaranteed $38 business that would’ve been a standard once a week minimum. I’m disgusted.

This spa is the best kept secret in Forest Hills. Their prices and quality masseuses r beyond belief. I have paid a small fortune for spa services in Atlantic City as well as New York. but here st the Asian spa u can have it all at such reasonable prices. And they even give u hot stone along with ur massage for free. Their services include – deep tissue or if u prefer it more gentle massages, foot reflexology, facials and cupping. Michael, the owner is the best. He really enjoys keeping his customers healthy and happy. This spa truly exemplifies personification of professionalism I recommend it to all. “Try it u will truly like it”

I’ve probably been here 7-8 times, because I live nearby and the price is super cheap. I really wish I could keep going to this place due to the convenience, but unfortunately, you get what you pay for. After my last experience, I decided I needed to find a new spa.
Main issues: Like others have said, it’s SUPER loud. The last time I went, there was a kid screaming in the entryway, an entire family having a conversation at the top of their lungs and workers talking as well. Impossible to fully relax in such an atmosphere.
But what really did it for me was noticing the lack of hygiene. Pretty sure they re-use bedding (the blankets do not seem to be fresh and appear to be reused between clients). This is especially gross because, at times, they massage your (naked) body *with* the blanket. Oh, and did I mention that there’s a sour smell in the place?
The other thing I noticed concerns the wet towel they use to wipe you down.. last time I was there, I could hear them toss the towel on the floor in the middle of my massage.. then they toweled me down again.. apparently with the SAME towel. I did not observe the massage therapist leave the room to get a fresh towel. Disgusting..

Horrible service… went with a friend to relax.. We were told that our room would be ready in 10 minutes. We went to the bank because apparently there is a 8% additional charge when using the credit card. We came back in 5 minutes.. there was a couple waiting too. Apparently they said they had an appointment for 2.. ( i call BS on that) So they went ahead of us.. but we were told before they even arrived that we were to wait 10 minutes prior to that couple coming in. My friend stated ” this is why i prefer going to spas in Long Island.. less stressful”. I completely agree with her. A bunch of rude people… very disorganized and most of all extremely stressful.

When you finally come out to get a massage and hoping for a great experience…..not in this case. This place has no privacy whatsoever. The lights are on in your face. The “massage therapists” are on their phones, talking non stop and one is teaching the other how to do a massage and he’s just dozing off. Unprofessional is an understatement. They didn’t even do a one hour massage, I asked 3 times to be gentle, and he gave it his all that I had to pull my feet away multiple times. They didn’t even offer a cup of water after the massage. Never coming back here again.

Poor service staff doesn’t speak English and only knows how to ASK you for more tips. Unbelievable experience massage was OK nothing is great about this place
